Development of a Technology for the Directed Modification of Fatty Acid Composition of Beef in Grass-Fed Feeding

Abstract

The article presents the results of the influence of studying the formation of a fatty acid profile in cattle meat using forage herbs rich in secondary metabolites (polyphenol oxidase, saponins, tannins and catecholamines) on lipolysis and biohydrogenation in animal rumen. The experiment planning matrix was performed using the Latin square method. The main factor studied was the effect of polyphenol oxidase on biohydrogenation processes in animals. Based on the studies, recommendations are made on the optimal composition of grassland in the pastures of the South of Russia in order to improve the fatty acid composition of beef.
